Preemptive I spoke with the managers at Cheesecake Factory already, per usual they are stoked to have us! Unless you guys are sick of yon factory that is. Imho its the best place for us. Per usual I scouted a few other locations but most are either too far to walk or just not equipped to handle our volume. If there is a massive rebellion I'll go scouting further but personally They are the most friendly and best set up... also, I like their food |:=3

The protocol will be as always. We'll meet at the lobby of the Renaissance Waverly around the giant plastic ice sculpture circa 8pm Thursday Sept 16th. Around 8:30ish we'll head to the Cheesecake Factory, I set us up under the group name "AMV" with a reservation for 9pm just in case you're running late. If you plan to attend simply respond here and I'll add you to the list.

Sadly to say there are a few rules:No Cosplay please - I really can't stress this enough. There haven't been a large number of offenders in the past, but imagine trying to cram 100 people into a restaurant with a dozen or so of them in bulky outfits and extensive person effects. No exceptions.Register with enough time to drop your stuff off - This pretty much follows the same theory. Plus last year the registration line was insane, so set aside enough time to make it all happen. I HIGHLY recommend the "mail my shit" option or what every they call it Each editor is allowed a maximum of 1 non-editing friend - Basically this rule prevents us from being over run by a bunch of screaming fan girls. If you want special consideration or for some reason have a spare person feel free to pm me in advance. Tip at the restaurant please - these folks are working hard to bring us a late but tasty meal. And each year they do a bang-up job! We need to show them our appreciation.
